in lieu of proper updating

I've been busily writing all week. Last night was a nice change from that; I went home earlyish (for me) and read books (Five is the perfect number and Emergence) and listened to music. Emergence isn't spectacular, but it's thinking about a bunch of neat stuff. Perfect Number is an Italian noir hitman comic that really is begging to be made into a movie.

imtboo came over, and spent the night. We went out for breakfast this morning, and she's gone home to write while I am here at the internet cafe.

My current to-do list for this weekend -- we'll see if I get to it all:

• incorporate second-reader's written comments
• incorporate second-reader's oral comments (from our meeting yesterday) done except for the tedious making-consistent of "we" vs. "I" and "one"
• incorporate citations from Construction Grammar literature (per meeting with second reader)
• cite L's thesis -- it's a natural, and she'll like it
• fill out citations from my notes (e.g. [CITE Hunt 1995]) into proper LaTeX citations (e.g. \cite{hunt94prosody})
• rewrite conclusion to ASR background section
• switch to robbib.bst per second reader's suggestion
• catch up on email
• catch up on LJ
• expand citations in .bib file to include first names; if i decide to go with initials I should change the bib style instead
• write the prosody and parsing background section
• write the parsing and ASR background section
• score outputs from most recent run of last set of experiments
